I find personal gratification in communicating fresh perspectives and stimulating curiosity and new ideas, as ways for individuals to navigate life’s challenges. It is difficult enough when the systems in place as supports seem counterproductive and sometimes harmful in modern life as we know it. When life “lifes,” it’s completely understandable to want to learn new ways of adapting. I get it, I hear you, and I’m here to help you have those “ah-ha” moments as you work through self-discovery and healing through symptoms and experiences of grief, trauma, stress, depression, anxiety, and/or relational problems.
I practice from a Person-Centered, multicultural, and trauma-informed approach using art therapy, Brainspotting, Positive Psychology, Motivational Interviewing, with some CBT and DBT.
As a Filipino-American, I understand experiences of being “othered” in this vastly diverse world. Come as you are and be your authentic self, as you have a safe space with me! My healing work reflects my deep sense of responsibility to helping others toward their specific goals and shows in how I manage energy both personally and within sessions.

Many of the clients I currently work with struggle with some mix of anxiety, trauma, depression, or relationship issues. During the initial sessions, you can expect to have some sort of art-based intervention, typically in the form of an assessment designed to help me understand you better, and developing a treatment plan that helps you toward the goals and change you wish to see in your life.

In my sessions, I often use art therapy or art-based intervention, whether that is in session or used as a "homework assignment" in between sessions. If talk therapy is more your speed, I approach sessions using a person-centered, trauma-informed approach. We will evaluate your strengths and identify areas of growth by connecting mind, body, and spirit.
